A. Record the IP address of every new sign-up. So in the admin area, where it shows me the username, and country, and all the standard info we ask on registration - it also has the IP address of the person that created the account. I need this because I then want to be able to ban them if they are repeatedly starting up accounts.

B. I would also like if someone knows how to implement a autobot-proof registration form that displays graphical images that a user must read and correctly type in the words and/or letters he see's. You know like what Overture/Yahoo/Hotmail and everyone else nowadays is doing to stop autobots from auto joining sites.

Do you know who has it on their site with GM, so I can see how it is intergrated.

Basically, I don't offer, or care to offer at this point, anything from GT except their email service.

So, I just want to upgrade the user sign-up page so it from now on record the IP address of every new member. You know, so I can see who is the scammers and spammers and guys starting dozens of usernames abusively.

If you care to help me do this - I'd be willing to pay a fair price I cannot myself.

Would I lose any data? Does it cost lots of server resources, CPU, bandwidth?
